DFS advice – Wr’s to start

Amari Cooper (DAL) vs. MIA

I’ve personally never been the biggest fan of Amari Cooper, but the chemistry he’s built between himself and quarterback Dak Prescott is gradually changing my opinion on him. Since he’s come to Dallas, Cooper has been playing like one of the top wideouts of the game that many people were expecting him to do when he came out of college in 2015. Maybe it was the system he was in at Oakland, who knows? All I do know is that he’s improved and grown into a beast. He’s playing against a horrendous Dolphins’ secondary that has not looked good at all in 2019. Expect to see him have another huge performance this week.

Emmanuel Sanders (DEN) @ GB

Many were counting Sanders out after he tore his Achilles in early December last year. He’s in his early 30’s and the expectation was the new-blood Courtland Sutton would be Denver’s leading receiver. That still may be true somewhere down the road, but Sanders remains as the top-dog in the passing attack for now. Did you know that as of right now Sanders is fourth in receptions, 12th in receiving yards, and first in red-zone catches? The Packers seemed to have improved significantly in their secondary this year, but not even the Bears were able to contain him last week. Consider Sanders when setting up your lineups.

Marquise Brown (BAL) @ KC

“Hollywood Brown” is living up to the hype that was bestowed upon him this offseason so far. In Week 1 he burned the Dolphins, catching two touchdown passes, along with 147 yards receiving. He followed it up with another sturdy performance with eight catches for 86 yards in Week 2. The Ravens will be heading to Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday to take on the Chiefs. It’s a highly anticipated matchup of two exciting offenses and Brown could greatly benefit from it. The Chiefs’ secondary has many flaws and with Brown averaging nine targets per game, he’ll have plenty of chances to exploit them in this one.

Honorable Mentions: Deebo Samuel vs. PIT, & T.Y. Hilton vs. ATL
